Stamford, CT., May 31, 2001 - - ShareSpan, Inc. (www.ShareSpan.com),
a leading provider of outsource wireless messaging services, today
announced its partnership with Xwireless (www.xwireless.co.uk), a
new messaging company based in the UK. ShareSpan's wireless messaging
platform will power the technology backbone of Xwireless.

"Expanding ShareSpan's reach to the United Kingdom is an important
part of our company's international strategy. We are very happy to
take an active part in Xwireless's development," said Joe Rubin, COO
and Co-Founder. "Powering their technology will be the first step in
a very profitable relationship for both companies."

Xwireless Business Development Director and Co-Founder, Colin Victor,
said, "Our partnership with ShareSpan in the United States represents
an exciting opportunity to truly revolutionize wireless messaging,"
and added, "The combination of our two technologies will enable any
business to easily integrate with our platform and manage with
simplicity their own wireless strategies without many of the
constraints that are currently being experienced."

ShareSpan is focused on messaging, which we believe is the first
widely-accepted and commercial platform for wireless devices. Its core
business and main source of revenue is in licensing its technology, and
private labeling its messaging platform to other companies, matching
their look and feel, and giving them a completely integrated wireless
solution.

and send out a wireless message to their users' wireless devices,
similar to the ShareSpan Affiliate program, which was launched in

messaging strategy makes Xwireless a perfect European partner
for ShareSpan.
